Search Strategy
I first searched the Article Database of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, further also databases: Web of Knowledge, PubMed, eMedicine, eOrthopod and Science Direct. I used keywords ‘Pes Anserine Bursitis’ or ‘Pes Anserine’ and I started searching for articles who were related to Pes Anserine Bursitis.
Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
Pes Anserine bursitis as an inflammatory condition of the conjoined insertion of the sartorius, gracilis and semitendinosus. We can locate this at the proximal medial aspect of the knee [15].

Examination[edit | edit source]
First of all it’s important to examine the tightness of the hamstring. The patient is in the supine position. Then we bend the hip 90° and the knee is straightened as far as possible. How far the knee can be extended will indicate if the Hamstrings are tight or not and how tight they are (If you can straighten your knee completely than your Hamstrings are not tight.).
Medical Management
[edit | edit source]
When someone has Pes Anserine bursitis, surgical intervention is something that doesn’t occur. Only when your patient has to deal with a local infection and the standard antibiotic treatment doesn’t work a surgical decompression of the bursa could be a solution.
